One of the most pony films i've ever seen in my life. From the soundtrack to the costumes, to the random jet fight at the end. Where the fuck to those jets come from and what the heck are they doing? If Scott wanted to include a massive jet fight ending then he should have done it over a city or done a massive free for all. Not over an ocean where the only bit of explosion looks like a firework or a location where no-one can see whats going on. From my point of view, they're flying over the sea doing nothing, miles from land, and are painted black, your average film student will suggest that black is the colour of evil and death. Oh No!. The film also contains some very gay scenes which i, as a male viewer felt uncomfortable watching. The beach volleyball scene showing the pilots with their ripped torsos, glistening white teeth, sweat dripping off them as they roll about in the sand, and its supposed to a film about fucking aeroplanes. Ive always liked watching half naked men who have just come out the shower and bitching at eachother like women do, and Tom Cruise is supposed to be this 'alpha-male' character. One thing i dont get about this film is the fact that Tom Cruise (Maverick -great name) hugs his nemesis at the end in the form of 'Iceman' when he's the reason why his best mate died. The sunglasses are an absolute joke and are not needed at all.
Tom Cruise, you just want to put a pint glass in his head, thinking his the dogs bollocks and always laying back in his chair and riding his motorbike, the motorbike that none of us knew he had until he rides it under the sunset, with his glasses on. When he sings to the woman in the bar, probably the most famous scene in the film, he cant sing and looks like a nobhead, you just want someone to pick up a stool and wack it over his nose. The Iceman bloke is also a panhead and obviously takes flying too seriously and comes up with the worse cuss' ive ever heard. The woman could have been much fitter than in the form of Kelly Mcgillis. She should of never worn that cap, didnt compiment her looks at all. As for the soundtrack, (Take My Breath Awayyyyyyy), Great up-beat song. The film is more of a romance than an action film, i think the jet flying is just a Maguffin for the poncy romance.
The only good thing about this movie is that it is a cult film in a way, in other words, a good idea, Scott shouldnt have made it gay and should have taken the women and romance out of it all together. As well as this it has produced one of the most popular fancy dress costumes ever. 2/10 -shit
